Heat loses Olynyk and fourth consecutive game as trade deadline looms

Five takeaways from the Heat’s demoralizing 111-109 loss to Orlando on Monday night at AmericanAirlines Arena, which was Miami’s fourth consecutive defeat:

• The Heat not only lost to the Eastern Conference’s worst team, but it also lost a key piece for an undetermined period of time.

Kelly Olynyk left for good in the first quarter with a strained left shoulder and said he’s unsure of the severity of the injury or when he will be able to play again.

Olnyk said he hasn’t had an X-ray or MRI but that the shoulder was in serious pain.
